Israeli Ambassador Daniel Taub was very successful building economic relations with the United Kingdom. He served in this role for four years during which time the amount of trade between his country and the UK doubled in volume. He served until the summer of 2015 during which time he resigned from his position and returned to Israel.

Regarding trade, in particular, Sajid Javid who is the British Secretary of State For Business, Innovation and Skills said that under Taub the trade volume had reached what he called a “golden era” between the two nations. The amount of trade was increased to anywhere between $5.5 billion and $7 billion in annual volume.

Daniel Taub is from the United Kingdom. During the course of his career as an Israeli ambassador, he once traveled to Northern Ireland along with his Palestinian counterpart. This trip was part of an effort to learn what had worked for Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK when they were resolving their own differences.
